    From Tools to Practice: Energy Modelling Case Studies – AEMN Workshop

    We are pleased to invite participants to the next African Energy Modelling Network (AEMN) online workshop, titled “From Tools to Practice: Energy Modelling Case Studies”, dedicated to presenting concrete modelling applications developed within the OpenMod4Africa (OM4A) framework.

    This workshop follows the first OM4A online session held on 11 May, “Powering Decisions: The Tools Behind the Energy Transition”, which introduced the OM4A Toolbox and its functionalities. Building on that foundation, this second session shifts the focus from tools to real-world applications, highlighting how energy modelling approaches are being used in practice across African contexts.

    The workshop will showcase regional experiences and case studies from East and West Africa, illustrating how open-source modelling tools can support energy planning and decision-making.

    In addition, the session will further introduce the African Energy Modelling Network (AEMN), its objectives, and ongoing activities, while fostering exchange among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders working in energy modelling and planning.

    Agenda highlights include:

    • Introduction to the African Energy Modelling Network (AEMN) and its objectives
    • Presentations of regional case studies from East and West Africa
    • Open discussion and exchange with participants

    This workshop aims to strengthen collaboration and knowledge-sharing around open-source energy modelling for Africa’s energy transition.

    Participants are encouraged to circulate this invitation among colleagues and stakeholders who may be interested in the topic.

    We look forward to your participation and to continuing the discussion on collaborative, practice-oriented energy modelling in Africa.

    Following our first session on the OM4A Toolbox, this workshop moves from tools to real-world applications, showcasing case studies from East and West Africa under the OpenMod4Africa (OM4A) framework.

    The session will also introduce AEMN and foster exchange among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders working in energy modelling and planning.

    📌 Agenda:

    • Introduction to AEMN

    • Regional case studies (East & West Africa)

    • Open discussion and exchange

    We look forward to an engaging discussion on practical, open-source energy modelling for Africa’s energy transition.

    Request for Expression of Interest for Hosting the African Energy Modelling Network (AEMN)

    One of the lasting legacies of the OpenMod4Africa project will be the African Energy Modelling Network (AEMN). The Network is being established as a pan-African, African-led platform dedicated to advancing open, transparent, and collaborative energy system modelling to address Africa’s energy transition challenges.

    OpenMod4Africa hereby invites Expressions of Interest (EoIs) from qualified organisations to host the AEMN.

    The complete EoI document, including all requirements, can be downloaded from the following link: African Energy Modelling Network EoI document.

    Interested organizations are requested to submit their EoI via email to info@africanenergymodellingnetwork.net with copies to dawit.habtu@aau.edu.et and kanchi.gashaw@veritasethiopia.com, using the subject line: “Expression of Interest for Hosting the African Energy modelling Network (AEMN)”.

    The deadline for submission is 24 June 2026. Please note that hard copy applications will not be accepted.
